One area that leads to many lawsuits is mortgage lending discrimination. A number of recent class action lawsuits have asserted that mortgage lenders inflate transactional costs and interest rates for African-American borrowers. “Redlining,” in which lenders deny services or increase the costs to members of certain communities, is all too common in sub-prime lending. Such actions are civil rights violations, and our firm can help victims get justice.

Civil rights litigation often involves disputes with the government. We can help people with claims against any government agency, from the police to the post office.
